    It gets exhausting to hear people talk about how it’s some sort of hunter gatherer super power… Bro do you know how boring sitting in nature is without a phone? You ever built a house from mud and sticks? Shit takes days of organized planning and you thinkg ADHD will help with that?

      I would have died because of ADHD in hunter gatherer times. I would have just forgotten to bring my f-ing spear to a hunt or something. I’d have definitely never managed to survive any winter if that includes having to prepare for it.

      A lot of people confuse ADHD which “I am a quirky creative person”.

      Do you think that hunter gatherers built a home? They slept on the ground, maybe by a fire. And have you tried walking in nature? Totally different experience than sitting in nature.
